    DAYS ARE GETTING LONGER

    A1+
    [01:33 pm] 22 December, 2008

    Today is winter solstice. The winter solstice occurs at the instant
    when the Sun's position in the sky is at its greatest angular
    distance on the other side of the equatorial plane from the observers'
    hemisphere. Usually the night is the longest and the day the shortest
    during winter solstice. Though the winter solstice lasts an instant,
    the term is also colloquially used to refer to the full 24-hour period
    of the day on which it occurs.

    Worldwide, interpretation of the event has varied from culture to
    culture, but most cultures have held a recognition of rebirth,
    involving holidays, festivals, gatherings, rituals or other
    celebrations around that time.

    It is generally believed that autumn ends on this day.

    Starting from December 22 days will become longer and days
    shorter. People also believe that on December 31 they will have the
    same weather as on December 22.

    According to the Armenian State Hydrometeorological and Monitoring
    Service snow will fall in the highlands these days. The temperature
    will be -1-3 at night and +1+3 in the daytime.
